A fun small doll (or fibery action figure) that’s a perfect size to have many adventures with!
Crocheted in the round with minimal sewing (including a no-sew option for the body).

This pattern includes full instructions for crocheting a doll with instructions for 2 hair cap options and removable clothes. The whole body can be crocheted without sewing, though the hair cap requires minor sewing to attach it to the head.

Finished size: about 7” tall (depending on your yarn, hook, & your personal tension)

Clothing patterns included: Loopy Hem Dress, pants, short sleeve shirt - The clothing doesn’t require buttons, hook & eye fasteners, or hook & loop tape…they are designed to slip on. Also, there is a colorwork option in the main body pattern to have “Stitched-in”/non-removable undies.

Hair Cap patterns included: Curly Pigtails and Basic Short Hair Cap

There is also a face stitching diagram for you to easily stitch on a face using yarn.

What you will need:
Materials:
• ~ 60 yds Worsted weight yarn for the body
• Scraps of worsted weight yarn for hair
• Scraps of worsted weight yarn for eyes
• Scraps of worsted weight yarn for clothes
• Toy stuffing

Tools:
• Crochet hook size F/3.75 mm*
• Yarn needle (blunt metal needle is best)
• 4 Removable stitch markers

A note about hooks and gauge — There isn’t an exact gauge for this pattern but the stitches need to be tight enough to hold in the stuffing and keep it from showing through. The exact size of hook you need might be different depending on your own personal crochet tension.
